Sky Plus Box - can you help?

[flipnflap]

When I used to have an ordinary Sky TV box, it remained on 24 hours a day - which was how I liked it. I recently got a Sky Plus box and it switches itself off - goes into stand-by mode may be a more accurate description - overnight. So, when I turn my telly on of a morning, I have to turn Sky on too. Can I keep it on 24 hours (ie. stop it switching itself off) and, if so, how?

You can't I'm afraid. It's most annoying isn't it!

Your shows will still record regardless.

I miss the autoview function too.

You can disable the Auto Standby mode within the Services menu under 5 SKY+ SETUP

Really???

I phoned Sky asking how to do it when I first got it installed a couple of years ago and they said "you can't"

WOO HOO, You've just made my evening! LOL

Nice to see your doing your bit to save the planet.

Just to save you a few seconds effort to turn your Sky box on in the morning you are willing to have it on all night.

Good job we are not all so selfish.
